Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Broadbean Plants at Waikanae Market tomorrow.
It may be wet and windy, but the soil is warming up nicely. Still too early to be planting tomatoes outdoors but we have some nice early varieties suitable for starting out in a greenhouse or veggie pod.
We still have some 'Kimber' Zucchini, which are self-fertile and will set fruit even if the bees are not around to pollinate. Also a selection from our regular Zucchini varieties - 13 in total this year including some interesting new varieties.
Planning to be at the market in spite of the forecast but heavy wind may be a problem.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED
Our grandson (20) recently moved to Kapiti from Taranaki and is looking for accommodation. Anything considered.
He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.
